Eagar Ramsey Park Project

Introduction

The PRM 423 class has been invited to assist the Town of Eagar in redesigning their Community Park. The project is on a very short timeline and so we will be starting our semester with this assignment. The Deadline for submitting a grant proposal to the Arizona Heritage Fund is Monday, February 28.

Initial Contact

My name is Vicente Ordonez, I serve on the Eagar Town Council and I work for the Forest Service as a wildlife biologist.  The Town of Eagar has a desperate need to renovate the Towns only community park.  It is over 30 years old and looks it.  The existing park has so much potential to better serve the needs of the town.  Since we have been talking about this idea for the last few months citizens have been donating money, committing to volunteer labor, corporate sponsors (Bektol and Bashes) are committing to funds and materials....the public interest has been great!  We want this to truly be a community park that will provide recreation for all ages and
abilities.  The following is our plan of attack:
 
bullet
We are surveying the schools in town to better understand what the kids would like to have in a park.
bullet
We are also surveying the seniors citizens.
bullet
We are trying to get representation from individuals with acceptability problems.
bullet
After we compile what the citizens want we will develop a master plan.
 
THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP.  We need your expertise on the science of designing a park master plan once we decide what components the town wants. And of course we are on a tight time frame.  We are gong to submit for a State grant that is due Feb. 28!
